Police are urging motorists to stay onside as the latest drink and drug-driving campaign coincides with the 2018 World Cup.  

The Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit will tackle the issue throughout the football tournament which runs until 15th July.  The goal is to ensure motorists know the score when it comes to driving under the influence – or face the penalty. There will be targeted patrols and stop checks throughout the summer campaign.

Those driving under the influence of drink or drugs face a minimum 12 month ban, an unlimited fine, and a criminal record. Other consequences include an increase in car insurance and trouble travelling to countries such as the USA.
